  • You're completely right; major error on my part. I moved the image and FPC page to remove the misidentification. Still, I don't feel the species is particularly relevant, but I'll try to identify it if it's deemed necessary. –Juliancolton | Talk 19:03, 26 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks! You're right, the identity isn't too important here, more useful for the arboricultural aspects - MPF (talk) 23:47, 26 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I think that the species of the tree is an important part of the documentation. The tree does not only show a piece of string, but also lichen, which may be identifiable. Snowmanradio (talk) 22:50, 27 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • That's a matter of personal opinion, which is perfectly fine, but I don't feel it has any significant bearing on the quality of the image. I'll try to reshoot it from different angles over the next weekend and see what happens. –Juliancolton | Talk 22:18, 27 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • I think that the tree and the lichen on the surface of the bark are important features of the photograph, and I have added lichen to the image description.

Magna Carta
  •  Info created by the barons and King John of England, digitized by the British Library - uploaded by Earthsound - nominated by Earthsound -- Earthsound (talk) 21:23, 24 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support -- Earthsound (talk) 21:23, 24 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment always the same problem... As uploaded above another version (with the same text, in fact, it's another document), the description in the file page is not true, and concerns only the first uploaded image : where is, here, King John's Great Seal ?--Jebulon (talk) 15:14, 26 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    •  Comment Actually, the description on the file page is accurate and true. The original file uploaded (as well as the 2nd file uploaded) was the later 1225 version (the seal on which is of Henry III). The third file uploaded was the even later 1297 version (confirmed by Edward I). For information regarding those two later versions of the Magna Carta, see the timeline of the Magna Carta at http://www.bl.uk/treasures/magnacarta/shockwave/magna_carta_broadband.htm. See the history of the file (and its description) before assuming, please. As for the "missing" seal, according to http://www.bl.uk/treasures/magnacarta/basics/basics.html (which you can get to from the file description page) "Three of the four surviving copies of Magna Carta have lost their wax seals over the centuries. The only one which still has its seal is the burnt copy on display here [at the British Library]. Unfortunately the seal was destroyed when the charter was burnt by fire in 1731..." Consequently, this is the only high resolution image of any of the four known surviving copies of the original 1215 Magna Carta. Earthsound (talk) 04:14, 27 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    • I've read all before assuming, and I understand what you say. Please note that I did'nt vote. I'm afraid that my  Comment was not clear, because not careful enough, sorry. But i did not really understand why the description page says authentificated by the Great Seal of King John, because the seal is missing. I was confused with the first document uploaded, which have a visible seal (of a later king, ok). I still think that all of these very interesting documents are different files, and not different versions of the same (even the text is the same). And please don't forget I wright here in a non natural language for me, and it's a bit hard for me in this kind of matters, sorry...--Jebulon (talk) 10:13, 28 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
      • When referring to the Magna Carta, it is normally understood to be the original, 1215 version, hence my uploading the original 1215 version on top of the 1225/1297 versions. I can understand your initial confusion, if you're assuming the original image uploaded was, in fact, the 1215 original. On a side note, both Henry III's version in 1225 & Edward I's in 1297 are shorter than the original, having omitted and changed some things. I agree with you, though. The three versions should be regarded as separate files/documents. I would posit that the latter two could/should be uploaded and named (something like) Magna Carta 1225.jpg and Magna Carta 1297.jpg. [forgot to sign this, should be: Earthsound (talk) 21:55, 28 April 2010 (UTC)][reply]
  •  Support and many thanks for kind explanations.Kiss Robin Hood for me, please.--Jebulon (talk) 23:04, 28 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Moral support. Important, but not a typical Commons-style FP, as it lacks clear visual appeal. It might do well as a VP. Good resolution and sharpness, but there seem to be several features that might be photographic artefacts - e.g. dark lines (scratches?) like those below the upper right corner. --Avenue (talk) 22:55, 30 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Tulipa Single Late Group
  •  Oppose disturbing background, flower is not really in focus, bad composition--Simonizer (talk) 20:26, 1 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose the bokeh of your image and your focus show technical subtlety. your composition could be improved though. try changing the angle, get your lense below the tulip, use a macro lens to show the inside of the tulip, change the lightsituation. any of this could improve the artistic value of the photography. since no other example of a single tulip for that species exists, just have a second shot. -- Peter Weis (talk) 22:11, 1 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Reef starfish doing push-up
  • I did try a couple of alternative crops before uploading it, including one along those lines. My feeling was that having a thinner strip of water along the top was potentially disorienting, giving more of an impression that the water was hanging in mid-air.

Lighthouse Minou before a storm
 Comment I think that the widespread effect is do by the storm... --Llorenzi (talk) 07:46, 3 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not sure how close the storm was, but the artefacts I see are not just in the distance; they affect essentially the whole image. At full size, it's blurry or blocky more or less everywhere. The sea in the middle distance is where I could see artefacts even in the image page thumbnail, but jagged edges around the archway are also pretty clear at full size, along with artefacts above and below the road walls to its right. This is a lovely scene, but I'm sorry, I think the image was probably just too highly compressed at some point. --Avenue (talk) 09:08, 3 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Agreed. If it was your camera that caused it, all I can suggest is to shoot in high quality mode next time (or even get a camera than can save RAW images, if that's an option). If, however, it was the software you used to postprocess the image, and if you still have the original file from your camera, you could try to redo the edits and save the result with a higher JPEG quality level. —Ilmari Karonen (talk) 13:35, 3 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    •  Comment - are you sure that isn't waves? I don't see any jpg artifacts there. - MPF (talk) 23:10, 1 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    •  Comment Yes. First I had the same idea as you. But when zooming in I saw clearly visible square blocks. And waves are not square shaped (normally...) -- Dr. Schorsch (talk) 11:22, 2 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
      • (edit conflict) There are definitely waves passing from left to right; you can see them changing as they reach the reef. They seem highly pixelated, however. They don't even look right at the 800x529px size shown on the image description page. Compare with this, for example. Other artefacts are also visible at full size, e.g. around the edges and corners of the shuttle, and noise on the land, but at least they disappear when the picture is viewed at a more reasonable size. --Avenue (talk) 11:40, 2 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    •  Comment It seems this image has been retouched. I've uploaded the original here, and as far as I can tell, it doesn't suffer from these artifacts (at least not as bad). –Tryphon 14:39, 3 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    •  Comment Reviewing the original has been one of my first mouse clicks. Sorry for not mentioning it here. The original has weaker colours but suffers from the same problem. Improving the contrast has just emphasised the problem. What we see here may be the technical limit of the jpeg format. The fine grain structure of the ocean waves has a really high spatial frequency. A compression of the picture is nearly impossible without loosing information. I assume that the problem was already created when taking the picture. Since we don't have raw data of it we can't recover the original data. Sorry, but I can't change my negative vote. -- Dr. Schorsch (talk) 06:35, 4 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
      • I agree the same problems are apparent in the original NASA picture, although the artefacts (and especially the fringing) was made more obvious by the retouching. Anyway, now there is another reason to oppose the nominated version; the image description contains no documentation at all about this retouching. Colours and contrast seem to have been strengthened, and the image is slightly cropped, but we shouldn't have to guess at such things. --Avenue (talk) 08:35, 4 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Bangkok at night, seen from top of Banyan Tree Hotel.
  • I don't know where the unevenness could come from. But I don't think it's either because of vignetting, exposure (I use manual mode), or because of lighting condition possibly changing (we're in middle of night here). I've found out that sometimes (often) 3 exposures blending process adds such artifacts, but usually in the form of haloing around buildings... So ? Dirty atmosphere ? Possible I believe, because you see that the colored signs cast their colors on the space around them, and this is visible even on the thumbnail. - Benh (talk) 18:06, 6 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

As shown in recent demonstartions at the AAF Tactical Center, Orlando, Fla., the Lockhead P-38, now being used as a fighter-bomber, is capable of carrying bomb pay loads up to 2,000 pounds, thus affording the Allies another potent weapon for use against Germany and Japan in coming offensive.

  •  Comment I am putting my two cents in... the issue with this picture is that the birds are white and under direct sunlight. While there seems to be no detail in the white areas, it is because the medium does not allow to see the detail, but it is there, at least tonally (so technology fails us here, the equipment is the one that does not allow for proper tonal reproduction). Converting this image to black and white, and then using a gray scale from zone system photography, one can see that the sky falls nicely onto zone VI, where it belongs naturally. The birds fall, consecuently, in a natural manner, up to zone IX, and a very minor part into zone X, which is to be expected, and their tonal range is there. The texture range dissapears in zone VIII. What does it mean in terms of zone system photography? It means that the exposure is correct, that adjusting exposure to bring into the texture range the highlights means that the scale would slide and give a wrong tonal representation of other parts of the photograph. Therefore, speaking in terms of zone system, the picture is correct. To leave tonal, dynamic or texture range out of the discussion would yield a wrong technical conclusion. Now, in terms of sharpness and/or movement control, well, yes, there is a little itty bit of motion blurr, but under these conditions, it is neglegible and in my opinion, as an observer, under acceptable conditions and results. Now, judging it from other photographic perspectives, it is well composed and balanced, nice contour of the subjects, clean background which allows the viewer to focus on the subjects inside a pleasant and simple sky as the background, texture and enough detail for the brain to "get" the subjects, dynamic image. There are a lot of elements of quality here. It is indeed a good quality photograph. --Tomascastelazo (talk) 23:28, 12 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support Nice combination, it has an important educational value regarding bird flight. --Alex:D (talk) 12:11, 15 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Comment - Very little value as is. This is probably a hypsometric map of the world, where each colour corresponds to a class of elevation above mean sea level. But a proper scale is missing, as well as an indication of the map projection and some form of georeferencing (e.g. graduated meridians and parallels). Also there are areas not covered by the representation. -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 13:51, 15 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support --The High Fin Sperm Whale 21:06, 15 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose I think we could feature this picture as an example of how to get a poor image out from a good database. How on Earth (no pun intended) did they manage to make central Russia look more mountainous than the Rocky Mountains? Also I love the transient between purple and green... And add to that the comments made by Alvesgaspar. One of the worst topographic images out there IMO. - Keta (talk) 15:17, 17 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Info This Global Digital Elevation Model, or GDEM, is a product of the Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER), a joint program of NASA and Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry. The image was released on 29 June 2009, and was created by processing and stereo-correlating the 1.3 million-scene ASTER archive of optical images, covering Earth's land surface between 83 degrees North and 83 degrees South latitudes. The GDEM is produced with 29 m postings, and is formatted as 23,000 one-by-one-degree tiles. In this coloured version, low elevations are purple, medium elevations are greens and yellows, and high elevations are orange, red and white. With its 14 spectral bands from the visible to the thermal infrared wavelength region and its high spatial resolution of 15 to 100 m, ASTER images Earth to map and monitor the changing surface of our planet. ASTER is one of five Earth-observing instruments launched 18 Dec. 1999, on NASA's Terra satellite. The broad spectral coverage and high spectral resolution of ASTER provides scientists in numerous disciplines with critical information for surface mapping and monitoring of dynamic conditions and temporal change. --LuisArmandoRasteletti (talk) 23:30, 18 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

"To all Frenchmen"
  •  Info text by General de Gaulle photo by Jebulon - uploaded by Jebulon - nominated by Jebulon -- Jebulon (talk) 23:10, 19 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Neutral  Info The call "to all Frenchmen" by Charles de Gaulle in London, in summer 1940, when the disaster was absolute in France, a few days (17 june) after the capitulation of all the french armies. It is the call of a lonesome man, for resistance against the enemy, sacrifice and hope. The war is not over, because it is a world war. Some huge forces will surely come, and will soon fight for victory, and France must fight for victory too. This famous text (here on an enamelled plaque) is shown at a lot of many places in all french cities, great or small, even in villages. This is a typical and remarkable french streets object. Not to be confused with the "18th june call", same idea, but not exactly the same text -- Jebulon (talk) 23:10, 19 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment It's a bit dark, isn't it? Jafeluv (talk) 16:45, 20 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Info Maybe. But it's an enameled street plaque, under sun and rain for years, not purely white, and not absolutely clean...--Jebulon (talk) 21:33, 20 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Question Is this text in the public domain? There's no FOP in France unfortunately, and I cannot think of a reason why the text would be in the public domain already. –Tryphon 12:36, 21 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Info O yes, it is in public domain... By the way, I'm sure that "Commons" will never have troubles with Gen.de Gaulle's heirs with this kind of images...--Jebulon (talk) 22:11, 21 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Other  Info The 18 june 2005, l'Appel du 18 Juin has been classified by en:Unesco on the Memory of the World register, were are registred since 1992 documents of universal interest, to protect them. Registration was made both by fr:institut national de l'audiovisuel (INA, France) and BBC, it concerns four documents as testimony of the event : manuscript of the text of the radio call of the 18th June, the broadcast of the call of the 22th june, manuscript of the poster « À tous les Français » (this one, 3 august), and the poster itself.--Jebulon (talk) 22:31, 21 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment If the text was copyrightable in the first place, and I think it was, then it is still copyrighted, unless we can find a release statement either from de Gaulle or from all his heirs. Alternative hypothesis: de Gaulle was still a member of the French military on June 18th. If copyright law was similar to its current state for that matter, then it is the French army who holds the copyright (and until at least 2041). They sometimes release work here, but not often. --Eusebius (talk) 17:11, 23 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    • If it was copyrighted when created (which is absolutely not certain), and the copyright belongs to the French military, then it expires on January 2011, 70 years after the creation. Yann (talk) 18:52, 23 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
      • No, 70 years post mortem auctoris (cf discussion on the French Bistro). But I don't think the military can claim copyright on this, since it was not really created on duty. --Eusebius (talk) 19:00, 23 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
      • I'm deeply sorry, but the two precedent opinions are very far away from the french law. "Copyright" doesn't exist in France, and you melt this anglo-saxon notion with the idea of "droit d'auteur", which is not (absolutely not) the same thing. This "pseudo-legal-mud" is usual, and its a pity (like the assertion : "there is no freedom of panorama in France", because the idea of "freedom of panorama" is unknown in french law). Never forget this : Commons is not only american, and what you say about the rights of the french army on this text is an absolute non-sens (to be polite) in this side of the Atlantic ocean. French army has never have a "copyright" (non-sense) on the books written by his members, even if it is art-of-war publications (Au fil de l'Epée, de la Discorde chez l'ennemi, Vers une armée de métier, all by army officer Charles de Gaulle) --Jebulon (talk) 22:38, 23 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
        • I am French, and when I say "copyright" in this context I'm thinking about the Code de la Propriété Intellectuelle. My comment about the army comes from a decision by the TGI of Nanterre (27 oct. 2005), commented in the Dalloz as the only reference about the droit d'auteur in the army, stating that L'État [sorry, it was not the army, my bad] se trouve investi des droits sur les œuvres produites par les militaires dans l'exercice de leurs fonctions, which makes members of the military a special case among the civil servants, who benefit from more rights (but not all of them). But I honestly think we are not in this case. --Eusebius (talk) 06:14, 24 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Waves of clouds along the east flanks of the Andes Mountains cast off an orange glow by the low angle of the sun in the West. The dark area to the left is the Earth's terminator. This view was photographed by astronaut Frank Borman and James A. Lovell during the Gemini 7 mission, looking South from Northern Bolivia across the Andes. The Intermontane Salt Basins are visible in the background.

SHORT DESCRIPTION
  •  Info created, uploaded, nominated by -- Tomascastelazo (talk) 18:42, 16 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support Hilda Tenorio, a female Mexican bullfighter -- Tomascastelazo (talk) 18:42, 16 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support Steven Walling 22:39, 16 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose Nice catch, the detail is fairly good. However, the crop is too loose, and the background and angle are not the best. The picture is overall good, but it's not the kind of image I expect to be featured in this subject. I'm close from voting neutral, though... - Keta (talk) 14:56, 17 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    •  Question What do you mean the crop is too loose? And the background? It is a bullfight ring, without distracting elements, thus centering the view on subjects. Angle? Is there such thing as an angle in this type of photograph? I really don´t understand your vote. ;0) --Tomascastelazo (talk) 12:13, 19 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    •  Comment Well, I was just stating why I feel that this picture lacks certain things which would make it featured IMO. I must admit, that it's a very personal point of view, and others might love the picture, which BTW as I said is very good :) About the angle, if this picture was taken from a site in front of where you were, I bet the angle would have been somewhat different, right? ;) - Keta (talk) 19:41, 19 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
      •  Comment Keta, angle depends on two axis, vertical displacement of camera (up or down) and distance camera-subject. Take a fixed camera position, and the angle will depend on the subject to camera distance. The closer the subject, the steeper the angle and viceversa. Now, on static subjects one can choose the angle that best suits the need; on moving subjects, such as this, usually a fixed point of view or a relatively static point of view is necessary, for the action can occur anyplace and one is left more with opportunity shots than planned shots, camera movement is difficult in sports. In this particular case, I happened to be just above the wall, the subject was in the other side of the ring, thus a low angle. Now, if I had been on top of the bleachers, I would have gotten a steeper angle, and if the subjects were closer to the camera, the angle would have been steeper. Additionally, subject and background relationship is also affected. So realities of the shooting live situation, fixed, low camera angle, and moving subjects. I cannot call the fixed camera position or the moving subject disadvantages, but those were the variables. Photographic merit aside, if any, the redeeming value of this photograph is also that it photographs a female bullfighter, who is coming up through the professional ranks on her own merit and has performed in renown bullfigting rings alongside world class bullfighters. Sometimes photography is like wine, you just have to accept certain characteristics... Not all good wine tastes the same... The trick is to distinguish the characteristics that make it good. --Tomascastelazo (talk) 22:19, 19 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
      •  Neutral I'm aware that you took the picture from where you were, but that just means (for me at least) that you weren't at the best place at the right time ;) You should have emphasized the importance of a female bullfighter, for which I'm changing my vote to neutral, and approaching to a support... - Keta (talk) 08:24, 20 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

fruits and leaves of a Platanus orientalis
  •  Oppose Distracting background indeed. Here the subject is not the whole tree (or else it is very badly depicted!), it is a few leaves and the fruit (flowers? whatever), and they are not isolated enough in the picture. --Eusebius (talk) 16:49, 23 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Neutral I disagree regarding the "distracting background" argument: the subject is the tree, and the composition is well balanced, with a pleasant colour scheme. Is certainly QI and VI, but is just not quite FP in terms of strenght of composition (focus/out-of-focus ratio too low IMO). --Elekhh (talk) 00:32, 24 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose -- Composition and image quality (sharpness, lighting) are way below FP standards. The two fruits, which seem to be part of the central subject, are not sharp and well lightened. -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 11:35, 25 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Polish air squadrons during Battle of Britain (1940 - 1941)
  • Well, most thematic maps benefict with the addition of some basic geographic information: topographic, hydrographic and political, at least. In this case not even the north direction or a couple of meridians and parallels are given. I don't know what the original purpose of this map was (maybe to illustrate some paper?) or if such purpose was well achieved or not. However I very much doubt it will be considered much valuable in such a broader context as our multilingual project. -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 12:45, 25 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • I don't think that topography or hydrography are relevant for this map which is about air squadrons (which are hardly influenced by rivers or mountains). It would be nice to have some political information, however I understand that there were some changes in that around 1940-41. One would have to pick a certain (random?) time. I agree, that it might be interesting to have some extra information in this map (Germans?) to see why the squadrons were moving around as they did. Please don't put north directions in maps of this scale. Most all map projections have a different north direction, depending on the location in the map. I don't think meridians should appear in historic maps either (unless they are relevant for the topic; e.g. if borders were drawn along them or if it helps to locate the depicted area). bamse (talk) 15:22, 25 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Well, I certainly do not agree with you concerning the need for background information and for the fundamental map elements: numerical (and/or) graphic scale, geographic graticule and map projection, at least. Please note that this is not an historical map but a modern map depicting historical information, which is a very different thing. Like it is presented, this is little more than a schematic map, way below the sophistication needed (imo, of course) for FP statuts. Anyway, I very seldom vote or even comment on map nominations, due to the practical impossibility of assessing their cartographic accuracy. This was an exception. -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 23:17, 25 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Emperor Franz-Joseph of Austria & his heir and successor Archduke Charles of Habsburg-Lothringen (Karl I)
  •  Info Scan, crop and levels adjustments by me. -- Jebulon (talk) 22:57, 22 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Neutral -- Jebulon (talk) 22:57, 22 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Question Not sure with size, is it enough ?
  •  Info very rare view of the old Emperor Franz Joseph and his successor Karl, in July 1914, a few days before the beginning of WW1. It's a press drawing made after a photograph, shown in the magazine "L'ILLUSTRATION" in the Album de la Grande Guerre in 1919. Notice that both are wearing the neck insigna of the "Golden Fleece"--Jebulon (talk) 22:57, 22 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose artist not identified, Im sure it isnt the work of User:Jebulon even though the info template says ownwork and author:Jebulon I doubt we have contributors that would be well over 100years old Gnangarra 11:29, 23 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment You're right, I'm old enough, but not so. I thought that the file description was informative enough. And I know that such oppositions are easy, because its avoid having an opinion about an unknown subject. But corrected now, as possible. The original on the magazine is unsigned.--Jebulon (talk) 12:30, 23 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    • Clearly you werent the author, I had made the assupmtion that it was an honest error that could be addressed but until then I must oppose to indicate a significant issue with the image. How about some assumption of good faith in my comments, licensing and source details being correct are a more significant issue than image asthetics, remember given such impropriety in ownership I could have just deleted as a copyright violation. Gnangarra
  •  Oppose scan artifacts at full resolution; I'm not very impressed with the artist's rendering - it's okay, but IMO definitely not Feature Picture worthy. Perhaps you can find the original photograph? Also, your source description shouldn't be "own work" unless you drew it yourself; maybe say 'Scanned by Jebulon from a (personal? library?) copy of "L'ILLUSTRATION", 1919.' Scewing (talk) 16:18, 23 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment if we can confirm the copyright status, I can probably advise Jebulon on making a better preparation, and help clean it up. Adam Cuerden (talk) 16:28, 23 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    • that would be positive move, Gnangarra 13:27, 24 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
      • I agree with pleasure. But is it anywhere here a reflexion or a debate about ethics and restoration ? I mean that the quality of a restored (scanned) image must not be better than the original one (sure) and not better than the actual state of it ( may be discussed)... And I've corrected, as possible, the file description. Threats, even implied, are useless. Même pas peur...--Jebulon (talk) 17:58, 24 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Obviously an informative, rare and useful historical document, but too many wrong or incomplete informations in the original file description (corrected now, but...). Too many technical issues too, I need help for learning how to scan better. --Jebulon (talk) 09:38, 26 May 2010 (UTC)I  I withdraw my nomination[reply]

Papilio palinurus

* Oppose IMO, bad light on the leaves in the background (shows too much the use of flash). Lack of a part of the left wing, because of a leaf. A pity... I'm sorry.--Jebulon (talk) 22:06, 20 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    • That's not because of a leaf: It's not uncommon for swallowtail butterflies to have one of the titular "swallowtails" damaged. It could be fixed by cloning, if desired, but it's not unusual. Adam Cuerden (talk) 23:28, 22 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Comment Ok for crop critics. But the rest of your opinion seems respectfully non relevant to me. No need of context: I show an anchor, and only an anchor. And the are a lot of nominated and featured pictures here which are "not the most edifying picture of the subject". By the way, this pic is not a Valued Image candidate...--Jebulon (talk) 23:13, 22 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    • Okay. If you want more explanation: not only is not a very illustrative from an educational standpoint, it's just boring. I mean, I don't expect to see fireworks and keel over in joy from an anchor photo, but this is a whole 'nother level of dull. Dull lighting, dull composition, dull everything. Dull is not Featured level. Steven Walling 23:49, 22 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    • wow ! I don't know who you are, but surely somebody very important to speak so kindly, Your Highness. Just boring ? Dull everything ? Wow...

  •  Comment There is a difference between quality images, valued images, and featured images. Quality images are for images that are of the highest technical quality. Valued images are for images that are of high value. Featured images, however, are for images that meet both of the previous criteria, plus for having a special "wow" to them and being simply the best of the best; the finest of the Commons. I'm sure the image meets quality image guidelines for its high quality, and perhaps meets the valued image guidelines for its level of value, but featured image guidelines? IMO, Steven is perfectly fine with his standing that the image is not exciting, as that is one of the things that differentiates featured images from quality and valued ones. ~Kevin Payravi (Talk) 02:32, 23 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Map of the routes of the Polish Legions in World War I, 1914-1916
I don't think it is a valid point to oppose. There are quite a few non-svg maps at Commons:Featured pictures/Non-photographic media/Maps. As you say, it is a multilingual project, so we should allow maps in any language to become featured. Apparently there is no problem to have this English language png map featured. There are even featured French language jpg-maps out there... Given the serious rendering problems of SVG (on commons/wikipedia), I don't think that all illustrations should be svg. Maybe for simple diagrams it makes sense, but to have a complicated map render properly is virtually impossible. bamse (talk) 09:31, 25 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I am a big supporter of easy to translate maps, and prefer English language in general. But I don't think that either is a requirement for Featurement? Also, when I submit a map here, I try to make sure I provide English description that would make it easy to translate the map. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 21:52, 25 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
The French language jpg-maps have been featured because of thee rendering problems you mention, of the file weight... and because there are SVG versions available! A map without SVG version available doesn't make it very useful for the projects in other languages. Sting (talk) 12:51, 25 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
P.S.: It's not because raster maps without SVG versions have been promoted before that we should persist in what I think imho is an error.
Shall we also ask photographers to upload raw-files in addition to jpg? bamse (talk) 17:48, 25 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
A very usefull comment... Sting (talk) 22:41, 26 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Glad you like it. If you think about it, the comparison of svg/raw files is not that far fetched. Compare for instance the situation where somebody uploads a photographic jpg-image with an off white balance (or oversharpened,...) to the case of a png or jpg map which has some factual error. In both cases, the image is easily fixed if there are raw (case 1) or svg (case 2) files available. BTW, I do support the idea of supplying svg maps for editing purposes in addition to png maps. There should be a better interface (an extra field or a template or something like it) at commons where one could clearly identify that the two files (svg and png) show the same thing. As I am aware of the current situation, one has to manually add this information to both image descriptions. bamse (talk) 06:43, 27 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
The question here is not about quality but to be able to translate the map without needing to do a very painfull work again, work which has already been made by the author. Sting (talk) 14:55, 28 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Sure, but in either case it is about supplying the most usable file format for editing. bamse (talk) 19:43, 28 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose. I like it more than the other maps you recently nominated, but it suffers from many of the issues I mentioned there (not all of these are oppose reasons):
  • too many cities: only include very big cities in order to locate the map and those places that are relevant for the topic
  • badly aligned label: if possible align labels consistently (for instance bottom right); keep about the same distance to the dots
  • Some labels over front lines are difficult to read. Readability can be improved by adding a semi-transparent (70% or so) rectangle (filled with the background color) below the text label.
  • For the battles, I'd use only the sword sign (not swords and dots which makes it not clear at which of the two circles the battle was located).
  • Unless it is relevant for the topic, remove the Wisła.
  • Why is the dot at Krakow in another color?
  • I'd get rid of the title (i.e. move it to the image description) and if possible even of the legend (i.e. move it to the image description). That would also make it more usable for non-Polish speakers.
  • Why do some front lines in the legend have a date and others only a month? Were the really the same front line from the 1st to the last day of that respective month?
  • "marsze bojowe i przemarsze" is probably self-explanatory and could be removed from the legend.
  • Don't fancy the different styles of "Królestwo" and "Polske" which probably belong together.
  • I'm not familiar with the topic, but is it useful to have a map that shows only the movement of the Polish legions? Surely the other armies were also moving around.
  • The greens of Germany and Poland are possibly too close which could result in misunderstandings.
  • Because there is so much going on between Krakow and Radom, one could consider having a magnified view of that region next to the big map.
  • At the bottom, the brown legion exits and enters. Why is that part not included in the map?
  • There is an out-of-place yellow line around Sochaczew.

I'd be happy if these comments can help to improve the map. Did you contact the author, btw? bamse (talk) 12:04, 25 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Yes, I did. Unfortunately he says he has less time now to help out with the project. He will try to take points from here into consideration, but he is pretty sure he has no time to redo the maps in svgs. Regarding "marsze bojowe i przemarsze", I think the legend for those should remain, but should probably be simplified (as a Polish speaker, I am not that fond of that... perhaps just "marsze" would be enough).
  • To answer your point about other armies: sure, but the map was intended (as requested) to show only the history of the Polish Legions (it is not the map of a war, but a map of the operations of certain units). Thank you (and others) for your valid comments! --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 21:50, 25 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Fair enough, showing only the Polish Legions. As for "marsze", I just though that you could avoid repeating it five times by having a heading in the legend which says "marsze..." once and below that the arrows with just the names of the legions. Same with the front line, just say "linia frontu" once and have just the lines with dates below that. bamse (talk) 10:43, 26 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose - As the map nominated below, it misses fundamental geographic information (topography, hydrography, meridians and parallels, etc.) . In this particular case, it seems obvious that the depiction of the relief and the hydrographic network would put the thematic information in its proper context. Finally, this is a multilingual project and the use of the Polish language prevents this map from having a broader utility. -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 12:55, 25 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
As for geographic information, see my comments here. I am not very familiar with the topic of the map, but curious: how would the relief and rivers help to "put the thematic information in its proper context" (I suppose you want to say that the thematic information and relief/rivers are related, but how?)? As for the Polish language, how about the "broader utility" of this featured English language only map? bamse (talk) 15:28, 25 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
This map focuses on political borders. A geophysical map could be made, but would it be more useful? Note that bamse above suggests that the single river is not helpful. Bamse: I am not sure what point are you trying to make with the other map you link? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 21:52, 25 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Fully agree with you, that a geophysical map is not useful here. I linked the other maps in order to show that there are featured maps which are not svg and only available in a single language. This in reply to comments by Dschwen and Alvesgaspas. bamse (talk) 10:43, 26 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment - Most thematic maps have a background of base information (topographic, hydrographic, etc.) to help contextualize the specialized information, whatever it might be. In this particular case, depicting the motion of troops, the usefulness of relief and hydrographic information is obvious. Like Waldo Tobler wrote in his 'First Law of Geography' ([7]), Everything [on the surface of the Earth] is related to everything [...]. -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 23:00, 25 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • I suppose that the motion of troops was determined by other factors than topgoraphy/hydrography. To you it may seem obvious, to me it does not, unless you (or somebody else) can point out that the depicted routes follow rivers, avoid mountains or some such. I am afraid that topography would complicate the map unnecessarily and make it more difficult to read it. bamse (talk) 10:43, 26 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Even in modern DSLR cameras an ISO setting of 400 may cause visible noise (that is the case, anyway). As for the minimization of motion blur, a shutter speed of 1/1000 is an exageration, 1/150 would be enough with the focal lens of your camera. -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 23:39, 25 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Yeah, I know that a 1/160s would have been enough for a focal length of 100mm. But there were other mallard ducks in the vicinity from which I tried to take portraits, using the full focal length of 300mm of my Canon EF100-300mm f/4.5-5.6 USM lens. At 300mm, I got a 1/640s at ISO 400, and as I did not want to think about switching the ISO's while looking for a "nice posture" of my "model" and being of the opinion that the possibly visible noise at ISO 400 would only occur to some pixel peepers and bother only a part of them... Anyway, I try to improve my photography skills and got hints that will hopefully help me in that aim. Grand-Duc (talk) 22:17, 26 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
